Gravetye Manor Hotel and Restaurant

A wonderful dinner by the window watching the changing light over the garden. The food was excellent. The staff were attentive and enhanced the overall experience. A slightly shorter description of the food that I knew I had ordered might be appropriate, touching on the finer aspects of it. The wine list was extensive, but offered no choice under £50.

My family took me for my 80th birthday .... it was really worth being 80! We started with a garden tour with the delightful and knowledgeable Georgie taking us around. Then we had lunch which was totally, amazingly delicious. Charming and efficient staff. 5* without question. Can't wait to be 90 and to be taken again!

We have had the immense pleasure of dining at Gravetye on many occasions over many years and had honestly thought it could not get any better, but our dinner this week was utterly sublime. Every single mouthful from beginning to end of the evening was truly exceptional. For the starter, I opted for the king scallop with lovage and Imperial caviar, which incurred a small surcharge - it was a once in a lifetime culinary delight - simply exquisite. I do hope it might be on the menu again next time we visit ! Every single course and complimentary amuse bouches were pure perfection on a plate. A huge thank you to the chef and culinary team for continuing to strive and achieve the highest possible of standards in every regard. As ever the restaurant staff were friendly, impeccable and professional. We look forward to our next visit.

A wonderful lunch with friends in a beautiful setting . The staff were friendly , attentive ,with added humour . The food was amazing , so many flavours complimenting each dish . We had the à la carte lunch and each course was lovely . The Newlyn cod was subtle but so flavoursome And the chocolate cherry dessert was just sublime . I loved every mouthful of every course . Local grown flowers and herbs decorated each dish And lots of information on what we were eating . I wish I could eat like this every day but was such a lovely treat I cannot comment on wines as we were all drivers so just had soft drinks I hope to return again one day as the whole experience was wonderful and I would love to experience food menus in the Autumn

I absolutely agree with everything said by “PT” a month ago, We’ve been to Gravetye on several occasions for lunch, it’s nothing like it used to be. There was no small in between tasters, the presentation was bland. We had cod, just cooked and no flavour at all with a strange thin sauce on the top. Even little things like the butter pats which used to be a work of art now just a pot filled with butter. We used to comment on and savour every dish, not now. A lot of money saving going on but at £85 per head without drinks won’t be going again or recommending.
